Y - (-4) = (5 - (-4))/(2 - (-1)) (x - (-1))
y + 4 = (5 + 4)/(2 + 1) (x + 1)
y + 4 = 9/3 (x + 1)
y + 4 = 3(x + 1)
y + 4 = 3x + 3
y = 3x + 3 - 4
y = 3x - 1
We can employ a simple repeated decimal trick:



###
Alternatively, we can compute the partial sum of the series.





As
, the second term vanishes and we're left with
. Notice that this is really just a more formal version of the earlier trick.
Yes it is a rational number
